Chapter One
The purpose of life is to fight maturity
–Dick Werthimer
Jim was giggling. Spock looked very confused. Bones was trying not to smile.
The captain leaned across the rec-room table and grinned at the older man. "Onesbay, asspay emay atthay ilefay?"
The doctor sighed and rolled his eyes. "Ouyay areway away ildchay."
"Utbay ouyay illstay ovelay emay."
Spock looked from one friend to the other, eyebrows raised and mouth pursed. They had been speaking in this odd way for twenty minutes and the vulcan couldn't understand what was possessing them to act this way. McCoy shot him a knowing look and turned to Jim. "Owhay onglay areway eway oinggay otay essmay ithway imhay?"
The young captain shrugged. "On'tday etendpray ou'reyay otnay enjoyingway isthay. Owhay uchmay ongerlay ancay ouyay ogay?"
The doctor looked affronted. "Iway ewgray upway eakingspay ikelay isthay, Immyjay oybay. Iway ancay outlastway ouyay anyway ayday."
The vulcan looked up-not hopefully, never hopefully-as Montgomery Scott and Uhura walked in, coming over to their table. The woman cocked her head to the side. "What's going on?"
Spock looked from one human to another. "The captain and doctor have been... engaging in a conversation that makes little sense."
Scotty took a seat, grinning broadly. "In what way?"
"Iway on'tday owknay atwhay e'shay alkingtay aboutway." Jim blinked innocently at the engineer.
The red-shirted man looked delighted. "Owhay onglay avehay ouyay otway eenbay atway isthay?"
"Entytway inutesmay orway osay. Ockspay oesn'tday understandway itway."
Uhura was giggling behind her hands. "Why ar- Sorry," She quickly backtracked as the captain and engineer glared at her. "Ywhay areway ouyay oingday isthay?"
Jim thought about it for a long moment. "Eway ereway oredbay."
"Alright, alright, enough is enough." McCoy said, putting down his own file at the slight twitch of the vulcan's face. "Time to be grownups. Starfleet officers acting like children..."
"You started it!" Jim objected. "And why not? Life is a lot more fun if you act a little like a child every once in a while."
"Or every day, in your case." McCoy muttered, blushing slightly.
Uhura was still giggling as she poked Scotty. "I remember you and Mr Scott acting pretty childish back on Ravil 4. What was that animal that you two were playing with?"
"Iway elievebay itway asway alledcay away Orsefshay andway eantmay otay ebay usedway asway away armfay andhay."
They all stared at the vulcan in shock as he raised an eyebrow. "Iway AMWAY away Ulcanvay afterway allway. Anguageslay areway onay ifficultday eatfay."
I'm not entirely sure where this came from but I like how it turned out. More of a fluff piece today.
LISTEN UP! This goes out to ALL Trekies.
Anyone who is into anime probably knows the name Vic Mignogna; for those of you who don't, he's an incredible actor and director who is an incredibly huge Trek fan. He and his friends, including Chris Doohan who is the son of James Doohan, have put together a stellar series called STAR TREK CONTINUES and you all need to watch the first episode. It's a brilliantly cast, produced and written tribute to our favorite show. It takes place near the end of the 5 year mission and it is just so amazing. Even if you only have a few minutes, they have a few vignettes so GO WATCH SOME! Please let me know if you do, this needs to be spread around.
